Hi all, can you pls explain why the mean is the max value plus minimum value divided by 2 from the set (96 + 12)/2?numbers divided by 2).

So the mean would be (108 * 11)/22 which simplifies to (108)/2 = 54.

oh hell.. ok that's complex.. appreciate the help though but that won't come to me intuitively in that time-frame. I was googling around, apparently the rule is that if the numbers are equally spaced in any set of numbers, then the average ends up being the sum of the first and the last # divided by 2. Tried it on sample set of numbers and it worked.

A rule to learn for me I guess since my intuitive sense isn't the best.

Really appreciate your prompt response though amigo!A.

And that rule was exactly what I was hoping to get from this thread. Good to know the short way to the answer now. Kudos!
